Packaging Education Ron Keller's Packaging Line Design Course What every Packaging Equipment Project Engineer Needs to Know Based on over 40 years of career growth experience in the field on both the machinery suppliers and users sides of the desk! Developed by Ron Keller the course presents the techniques, skills, and project approach that enabled him to rise up through the ranks in large packager companies, from Project Engineer to Director of Engineering in about eight years! Presented by a former Project Engineer & Manager of Manufacturing Engineering in the Health & Beauty Aids field, and then Director of Engineering for a multi-national Pharmaceutical, Health & Beauty Aids & Household Chemical manufacturer, rising through the ranks to Director in about eight years! Ron's teaching experience includes teaching the Packaging Line Mechanics Training Course listed below in conjunction with Middlesex County College, and teaching as an Adjunct Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology, for the Mechanical Engineering Department, Graduate School This 14 weeks of intensive training is available either on-line over the internet or live at your location. You may take just this course directly from KPEG, possibly take it in conjunction with other on-line courses in cooperation with a college, or through a professional association. The only course of it's kind (that we are aware of), in the country! Don't be taken in by watered down substitutes, if Ron Keller is not the instructor, it's not genuine!

Packaging Line Mechanics Training We present our "ENHANCED" Packaging line Mechanics Training course at your location. It consists of twelve (12) four (4) hour sessions usually spread out over a twelve (12) week period. I have presented this course several times to packaging line mechanics at two Fortune 500 consumer products companies plants here in New Jersey. In New Jersey the Department of Labor pays up to 60% of the cost for this training and we can provide state application assistance. Perhaps there is a similar program available to you in your State as well We purchase the Packaging Machinery Components text books, work books, and test materials from PMMI and use them as the basis for our class room presentations. The course that we teach is an enhanced version of the basic PMMI introductory material. We call it an "Enhanced" course because we include class lectures on an introduction to blueprint reading, and cover training and/or equipment maintenance material supplied by the manufacturers of the specific pieces of equipment used at your plant, then conduct guided tours of your packaging area to review the items covered in class, in action. At the same time, we address any day to day operating problems that may exist and offer suggestions on possible ways to improve your packaging line operations. In order to configure our course to you specific requirements, we need your input on any specific emphasis that you may desire or additional topics that you would like covered. For instance, we have the Allen Bradley Introduction to PLCs training information which we can include. This material would take about an hour to present. In addition, PMMI sells a self study book on PLCs that I would suggest utilizing for more in-depth information. By this method we can present the material in class and each student can then go on to review the self study exercises to reinforce the class room lecture. This segment would take an extra three (3) hours. We also have a check weigher company’s course and can extract pertinent portions to include a basic introduction to check weighing, manual or automatic, along with statistical theory on how to calculate the target weight for a product sold by weight or fluid ounces. The various publications that are available from the PMMI bookstore are an outgrowth of the early PMMI efforts to help organize classes and provide packaging equipment for use in classes at the Edison Technical High School, back about thirty years ago. They now support similar training programs at over ten technical high schools around the country. The training materials that they now sell for in-house training courses are an out growth of this early experience in the high school. Today materials are available on a number of subjects related to packaging machinery, and packaging line mechanics training. Several colleges along with a number of independent consultants like ourselves, teach line mechanic training courses around the country, utilizing the PMMI publications
